packet-publisher

Description

Specifies configuration information for the Packet publisher, used for network data transmission.

Reliable packet delivery

The Packet publisher is responsible for ensuring that transmitted packets reach the destination cluster node. The publisher maintains a set of packets which are waiting to be acknowledged, and if the ACK does not arrive by the packet-delivery resend timeout, the packet will be retransmitted. The recipient node will delay the ACK, in order to batch a series of ACKs into a single response.

Throttling

The rate at which the publisher will accept and transmit packet may be controlled
via the burst-mode and traffic-jam
settings. Throttling may be necessary when dealing with slow networks, or small
packet-buffers.
